For the past five years (i.e. for as long as i've had websites) or so i've been using Frontpage Express to update all my sites.
Yesterday i downloaded Evrsoft First Page 2006 (a gadzillion more features than FP and it is free) but it runs REALLY slowly on this computer. When in source mode/view if i type something it will put it in letter by letter in about one second increments even if i've just finished typing a thousand words (it would thus take ages for all of that typing to show up on screen). Hopefully i've explained it good enough. But you can't do anything until the letters have stopped 'appearing' on screen.
It has a few templates you can use, two of them are CSS templates (one a three column and one a two). I tried using the latter, managed to customise the borders and colours fine (of the menu box) but i couldn't move the main content box (or even select it). It was also quite hard to figure out how to add another main content section (is it even possible?) and do a lot more to it.
Another problem with the programme (unrelated to the CSS above) is that i could see no way at all to adjust/play around with individual cells (so i can make the site look like this: http://godzilla.netfirms.com. Well, it is supposed to now look like the two white pages in the attachments below but i haven't got around to updating more than three pages with the new look yet.
There are heaps more problems i've encountered with it, but i'll leave them be for now. Has anyone else tred this programme before?
Please do not say that i should go and study CSS etc coding and shouldn't be using WYSIWYG editors - the fact is that i just want to create, update and customise my websites as easily as possible. I don't have time/can't be bothered learning all these fancy languages unfortunately. In an ideal world i would pay whatever it takes to get all my sites up to the look and useablity etc i desire but i'd have to come apon a fair amount of money for that.
I've just had it with Frontpage and all its problems - see the attachments. The pages are completely munted up in Frontpage but in a browser they look like they should (and slightly different when online also i believe).

If you want things to look the way you want them, then you will either have to learn, or as you said, pay someone to do it for you!
